4.2.7. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
Front to Rear Deck Pitch (48” Deck)
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check the
tire pressure. Add or release air as needed to bring
pressure to 10 PSI in front and 10 PSI in rear tires. If
tires are properly inflated and mowing is still uneven,
check side-to-side deck levelness first then proceed
to front to rear adjustment. Adjust front to rear deck
levelness as follows:
FIGURE 4.5
1. Place YARD CRUISER on a smooth level
surface.
2. Remove floor pan.
3. Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to the
front and rear of deck. Measure the distance from
blade tips to floor. The distance should be the
same, or the rear 1/4” lower than the front. If the
rear blade tip is higher or is more than 1/4” lower
than the front, proceed to Step 4 for adjustment.
4. Remove the hair pin from pivot rod on one side
of deck at a time.
5. Rotate each pivot rod up or down the same
number of rotations to achieve the proper
levelness.
6. Reinstall both hair pins into pivot rods. See
Figure 4.5.
IMPORTANT: The mower deck, over a long period of
time the deck may not adjust to a 4” cutting height. If
this occurs, remove plate located underneath the
front lift bracket. Support the front of deck, remove
this spacer plate, reinstall the front lift bracket, and
tighten bolts securely. Proceed to front to rear
levelness section.
